Feb 18 How Can I Stay Connected With God?: The Power of a Rhythm of Life

I first heard about developing a rhythm of life about fifteen years ago.

Life was busy.

Housework. Family. Homeschooling. Ministry.

And I was burnt out.

Life was chaotic and empty. I felt depressed as I tried to manage all the spinning plates only to find them dropping and crashing.

I’m sure you know what it’s like to live in survival mode.

And sometimes that is what we need to do. New babies, settling into a new home, emergencies—there are times for that.

But when what is meant to be a season becomes a way of life, that’s not good.

That is where I found creating a rhythm of life so helpful.

First, a definition:

Basically, a rhythm of life is a uniquely ordered collection of spiritual disciplines that provides space for you to connect with God—daily, weekly, annually. It is through these regularly practiced habits that we are transformed into Christ.
